As Father’s day approaches, so does the dilemma of knowing what gift the kids can give.

When dad has pretty much everything he wants and you are trying to take care of the family budget, the age old question of “what to buy” rears its ugly head again.

That’s where these Superhero dad candy bar wrappers are the perfect option and the kids are going to absolutely love them.

Why Are Superhero Dad Candy Bar Wrappers The Perfect Gift?

Let’s look at this sensibly. Why would a Superhero candy bar wrapper make the perfect gift for dad.

Reason 1: There are not many dad’s out there that don’t love chocolate. This makes it the perfect gift.

Reason 2: Dad’s are essentially BIG KIDS. So what would happen when they are told they are a superhero?  They would relish in it, that’s what they would do. This therefore makes it the perfect gift.

Reason 3: You can pick the candy bar up with your weekly grocery shop and print the labels from home. There will be no dragging the kids around the shops. This makes it the perfect gift.

Reason 4: When you are trying to balance a family budget, money can be tight. It is difficult to keep finding money for extra gifts. This is a budget friendly option and therefore makes it the perfect gift.

Reason 5: Kids love getting creative. Now whilst this isn’t overly crafty, it is something that they can put together themselves. This makes it even more exciting for the kids and dad will love the effort that has gone into his gift. It makes it the perfect gift.

Taking into account all those reasons, I I think this one is a winner gift perfect for Father’s day or dad’s birthday.

I don’t know what happens in your house, but on Father’s and Mother’s day we don’t spend a lot of money on gifts.

The gift from our kids always has to be cheap if it is purchased. We certainly don’t buy any expensive gifts because we don’t want them to grow up thinking that they have to spend a whole lot of money on us.

It’s not about the gift itself, it’s about the thought behind it.

This is where printables are perfect as they are fun to cut out and apply.

It’s not always an easy task finding a Father’s Day gift from the little kids. The kids are excited to give gifts, but that doesn’t mean that they have to be expensive ones.

In fact, it’s the handmade gifts that the kids get excited about more than the store bought ones.

It makes sense really because a handmade gift is one that is full of love. It has effort and thought put into it.

We have a rule in our house that Father’s Day and Mother’s Day gifts have to cost under $10. We don’t wan’t our kids to be spending all their pocket money on gifts for us, and we also don’t want to set a precedent that only expensive gift’s are worthwhile ones.

So far our kids have managed to find great gifts for under $10 just fine, and everyone has been excited with the results.

Plus, there are the accompanying handmade gifts like this Father’s Day Certificate.

I created these certificates for Father’s Day several years ago when my daughter was a toddler. (Note this post has been updated for you!).

At the time, my daughter (who is now 7) had great delight in choosing which Father’s Day certificate she was going to complete, and then adding her personal touch.

She may have only been a toddler, but she sat and completed her certificate with great delight. She was also super excited to present her work to dad on Father’s Day.

As for dad? Well he was thrilled with his certificate. I mean, what dad doesn’t like to be told how awesome he is.

Choice of Two Father’s Day Award Certificate Designs

There are two Father’s Day certificate designs for you to choose from and both are available for FREE from the free printable library.

Simply choose which one you would like to complete and print it.

Do you have more than one child? Well I’m sure dad wouldn’t mind receiving two or more certificates!

One of the designs says “World’s Best Dad”, whilst the other says “Champion Dad”. Let the kids choose which one they think dad would prefer.

My daughter certainly knew her own mind and when presented with both the certificates. She was very adamant which one she wanted to give to daddy.

She choose the “worlds best dad” and had a ball adding her creative flair to the certificate.

There are spaces left blank for you to fill in who the certificate is for, the date and who it is presented by. The kids can then continue to add their artistic flare to the rest of the certificate as they wish. In my daughter’s case, this was over the entire certificate!

 4 Steps To An Awesome Father’s Day Certificate

Completing the certificate is super easy with the four following steps:

Step 1: Head to the FREE printable library to gain access to the Father’s Day certificate.

Step 2: Choose which certificate you are going to print. There is the choice between “World’s Best Dad” and “Champion Dad”.

Step 3: Print onto a bright white card stock. Set your printer settings to high quality and printing onto card.

Step 4: Fill in the written blanks (if your child is too young to do this themselves). Then hand the Father’s Day certificate to the kids to let them add their own creative flair.

Whether you choose to have this as the sole gift for Father’s Day or to include it as an additional item, I know that dad will absolutely love it.

The kids will thoroughly enjoy completing it and watch their excitement as they hand it to dad.

It’s not the monetary value of the gift that is important, but the love, care and attention behind it.

If there is one thing you can be sure of, it’s that dad’s love their food.

It makes me chuckle every single time, when my husband comes home from work, opens the door and says “Ohhh, someone’s been baking”. The slightest aroma of freshly baked food and suddenly they are running to the kitchen looking for what treats they might find.

Then of course once they see that the baking is fun food like cookies or cupcakes, they suddenly turn into little school boys with puppy dog eyes, desperately wanting to tuck in.

The way to a man’s heart is truly though his stomach. That saying never get’s old does it!

This selection of Father’s day cookies is one that the kids can help you make. All the cookies are super simple which means you can have some fun in the kitchen prior to Father’s day. Dad will love the cookies even more knowing that the kids helped to bake them for his special day. They could even be wrapped up as a cookie gift, or presented in a little gift box. That would make them even more special.

Whatever type of cookie that dad likes, you will be able to find something for him here, with one of these recipes sure to be his favorite flavors. Each cookie baked for him will make him feel like the best dad ever.

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. How many times have you heard that saying? It’s popular because it is so true.

When it comes time to buying gifts for my husband, he often says “just buy me something consumable”.

As we get older we don’t really need ‘more stuff’, but consumable items? Well that is a different story! If you have a favorite treat, you bet that you can keep being given it over and over again and you won’t get bored.

So what are two consumable items that you know dad will love?

Beer and chocolate!

So for Father’s Day this year, why not just buy dad something that he really wants rather than something that will just end up at the back of the cupboard!

Several years ago now, I designed some Father’s Day printable’s, specifically for bottles of beer. They have become a popular item in the shop and being available in both “dad” and “daddy”, they are suitable for ages of kids to give as a present.

But wait. What would go perfectly with a six pack of beer? You’ve got it. A candy bar with a matching printable wrapper.

These Father’s Day candy bar wrappers create a fun, creative and SUPER EASY gift for dad. They are the perfect gift for dad from the kids, but they are also great for the grown up’s to give to their dad’s too. You are never too old to enjoy chocolate!

For the dad who has it all, these Father’s Day candy bar wrappers are the ideal gift. It’s small, it’s simple, but it’s super sweet and dad is going to LOVE it.

Set of 4 FUN Father’s Day Candy Bar Wrappers

Four designs have been created for you to choose from. The wrappers have been specifically designed to fit standard size Hershey bars (1.55oz /43g), but they would be fine on other candy bars too.

Each wrapper is sized 13.5 x 13 cm (approx 5.3″ x 5″).

Simply choose the one or more that you wish to use, print, cut and attach to the candy bars. There are two designs on each page.

These Fathers Day candy bar wrappers hold enormous nutritional value of 1 Super Dad serving size. They also 100% loving, caring, strong and dependable. Does that sound like dad to you?

Little kids come out with absolute gems. They say things as they see them, there is definitely little holding back. It’s one of the many things that makes childhood something to treasure.

There have been so many times that my little one’s have said something absolutely adorable and I have either said “I’ll never forget that”… (of which I always do), or “I’ll write that down so I can remember it forever”.

We have great intentions, but life get’s in the way. We get caught up in the day to day running of life, that things get pushed aside for supposedly more important tasks.

Why?

Well we will never forget that gem that has just been said will we, of which we almost always do.

It is therefore important to take those screen shots every now and then. To remember the quirky things that our kids used to say and think.

This father’s day questionnaire is one of those perfect times to do just that.

The Personal Nature of A Father’s Day Questionnaire

In the midst of shopping for gifts, there is always time to create something personal. This is so important when the kids are young because as we all know, they don’t stay little for long!

Those little things that they say and do to make you smile will soon be distant memories as they head off into the big wide world.

If only we could bottle up those moment’s forever.

Whilst I don’t have the magical solution for bottling memories just yet, there are ways that we can bottle up the quirky things that little kids say.

This father’s day questionnaire is just one of those things.

It’s personal, it’s adorable and it is definitely something that will put a HUGE smile on dad’s face.

The kids will absolutely love writing all about dad, and they can add their artistic talents to coloring in their superhero.

Another kind of gift that dad would love for father’s day is a memory gift jar. It can be filled with lots of ideas for activities to undertake together and then replace the activity idea with a memory from that activity.

These kinds of gifts are totally the best kind.

Instantly Download The FREE Printable Father’s Day Questionnaire

The father’s day questionnaire is available right now for you as an instant download. If dad is out at work, there is no time like the present to print it off and get the kids started on it. And yes, it’s absolutely FREE.

If you have more than one child, print more than one and give dad a whole bundle.

Print the father’s day questionnaire off again next year and get the kids to complete it again. It would be wonderful to see the changes in a year, not only of the answers, but also of their handwriting and the way they complete the coloring.

All these things are the things that we need to treasure in life.

It’s not father’s day here for us in Australia, but my daughter was still so excited to complete this for her dad.

So much so that as soon as he opened the front door after coming home from work, she ran to him with the questionnaire. She couldn’t wait to give it to him, and dad was totally surprised by it too.

The line that made dad laugh? His job is: “Boss people to build boats”.

The line that brought a tear to his eye? I love my dad because: “He takes care of us”.

It was exactly what he needed to hear after a hard day at work. You don’t always need to wait for a special occasion, and I’m so glad we didn’t wait for another 4 months to give this to him for father’s day!

3 Easy Steps To Complete The Father’s Day Questionnaire

Step 1: Simply visit the free printable library and scroll down to the Father’s Day section. Click on the “download” link for the father’s day questionnaire and it will open up in a new window for you.

Step 2: Save the PDF to your computer and instantly print.

Step 3: I recommend printing onto a thick matte photo paper. The photo paper gives it a nice clean finish that printing onto normal card stock will not do. The matte nature of the photo paper will still also allow for easy writing and coloring.

You may have noticed that I havn’t actually used the word’s “Father’s Day” on the printable. You could therefore use this for dad’s birthday too (or simply for any day of the week!).

I don’t think dad would mind what occasion he receives it on. He would simply love it at any time.

This father’s day questionnaire takes very little time to complete, but is something that will be treasured forever.

Head on over to the subscribers exclusive area and grab your copy of the questionnaire. Print it off for the kids and then watch both the kids and dad’s face as he get’s handed it on Father’s day. It doesn’t matter how many kids want to complete it for dad because their answers will all be different and unique.

For something a little extra, the kids could also hand dad a superhero Father’s day card. Again these don’t specifically say “Father’s day” so you could easily use them for dad’s birthday too.

The printable cards will be a perfect accompaniment to the father’s day questionnaire.

Being a new parent is hard.

It doesn’t matter how hard you prepare for having a baby, nothing can really truly prepare you. Yes you can read books, Google search all the things that can happen, but until it really happens, you don’t really have a clue.

But to become a parent, there has to be a first time.

There has to be that first nappy to change.

There has to be the first feed in the middle of the night.

There has to be the first crying session when absolutely nothing you seem to do makes a difference.

It’s life.  It’s about learning as you go, and growing together as a family.

Little babies, take a lot from us and whilst they are still young they don’t really give a lot back.  It’s a hard slog, but it is all so worth it in the end.

The first time they smile, the first giggle, the first recognition of you.  Those moments make up for all the hard work to that point.

The Perfect Father’s Day Gift For First Time Dads

A first father’s day is also very special.

At least as mom’s we have time to prepare as we feel our bodies change. We have already come to terms with sleepless nights with heartburn, baby kicking and generally being uncomfortable.

For the dad’s, the first time that their life really changes, and I mean really changes, is when that baby is born.

It’s not just us mom’s that give up a lot. Dad’s do too. 

This is his first father’s day and it’s one for him to be recognized for the amazing dad that he is

So I was thinking. What would be a great gift for a new dad for father’s day?

For a dad who loves his beer, these new dad beer labels have to be it!

A set of six printable beer labels that dad can enjoy in the comfort of his own home (even whilst cradling the baby if necessary!).

And for mom?

You don’t need to stress about getting to the shops looking for that perfect gift with a newborn baby in tow. 

It can be difficult enough leaving the house without the added stress of having to get a gift for father’s day. This way all you need to do is head to the bottle shop, grab his favorite six pack and head straight home!

The rest of the gift can be organised from the comfort of your own home, in your PJ’s if necessary.

These labels are bright and bold and definitely can’t be missed. They have little sayings on them that the baby is thanking dad for, and on the side are some cute little designs.

I hope that you love them as much as I do.

How To Organize The New Dad Beer Labels Into A Gift

Step 1: As I mentioned, the first step is heading to the bottle shop to grab his favorite six pack.

This is something that you will need to leave the house for I’m afraid unless you can call on help from a friend or family member to drop by on your behalf!

Step 2: Download the PDF from our Etsy shop. 

Print off the set of six beer labels onto matte photo paper. There are six designs on two pages, so you will need two sheets to print all the designs.

You will need to cut out each of the beer labels individually.

Step 3: Remove the existing label from the beer bottle. 

You can put the label directly over the top, but I much prefer the look when you remove the original.

Leave the bottle neck label and the label on the back so that he knows what beer he has been given.

Step 4: Attach the new labels with double sided sticky tape.

If you like, you could add the beer bottles to a gift basket with some chocolates or nuts, but otherwise to keep things simple just put them out on the table for him to see in the morning.

It’s not like baby can actually hand over the gift anyhow!

Perhaps you are looking for a new dad to be, so these new dad beer labels arn’t quite right just yet? If that’s the case then I think you will love this selection of new dad gifts.

There are things here that all new dad’s will appreciate, even the dad’s to be. Then you can save these beer labels until the little one actually arrives.
